I've done a few updates and it was painless from 4 to 4.1 however with on box I am having a issue with.
I am not near the server and my connection at home is with a 3G card but at work where i do the updates has a 200Kb upload semi stable.
This is the command im issuing:
vihostupdate.pl --server sv1.localnet.com -i -b upgrade-from-ESXi4.0-to-4.1.0-0.0.260247-release.zip -B ESXi410-GA-esxupdate --verbose
Bunch of nonsense but here are the errors...
Requested 474 MB and 4092 MB is allocated at /tmp/updatecache
Copy upgrade-from-ESXi4.0-to-4.1.0-0.0.260247-release.zip to server at /tmp/upda
tecache/upgrade-from-ESXi4.0-to-4.1.0-0.0.260247-release.zip
Please wait patch installation is in progress ...
Install operation failed:
SOAP Fault:
Fault string: The session is not authenticated.
Fault detail: NotAuthenticatedFault
My guess would be the password? But not the case...
vihostupdate.pl --server sv1.localnet.com --query
Enter username: root
Enter password:

I tried doing this around 3 times and the same outcome.
Guess my question is... Is there a time out for the authentication?Any other options around this?
